NEW DELHI: The Rajya Sabha was adjourned on Thursday after TDP and AIADMK members protested over various issues forcing Chairman M. Venkaiah Naidu to adjourn the House till 2 p.m.

The AIADMK members were seen raking up the issue of setting up of the Cauvery Management Board.

Meanwhile, TMC member Shukhendu Shekar Roy raised a point of order questioning the moving of Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill 2013 by Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday and demanded the legislation be recalled.
